I ordered some Cream Legbar eggs from Ebay and they got shipped today!! We need to do a hatch-a-long together I am more than a bit nervous about hatching chick eggs after reading this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101

I know! I read that a couple of days ago. It has me nervous for sure!
I would love to do a hatch-a-long!
Yay! Now I'm even more excited! It's always funner to have somebody to compare notes with.

Sundance, I think a chickenstock in SL would be WONDERFUL! i hope it can get pulled together!


Ace/Sundancen, I'll be in SL both Saturday and Sunday, so I can pick up eggs from Sundance and get them to my house. That'd be a bit of your drive shaved off. I could even toss in some FBCM eggs if you want.

How traumatic!!! I always hat helping too, but I had to help one out last time.

Are you still in the Roy area? I know you talked bout moving earlier...
I just got 6 fertile eggs from a coworker to put under my broody... So I think I might be good. Unless I put them in my bator! no... Can't. Shouldn't.

So no one can tell me what that chick from RedIII is. I've had some people tell me maybe dark cornish, others EE without the slate/green legs and/or the muffs. But I don't think that its either really. But everyone is in agreement that its a cockerel.

Its so sweet too, it loves to have its chest scratched. So anyone looking for a mystery cockerel.

Do you know what roosters Red has?? That would give you half of the equation. And egg color could help on the other half.

Thats what I was thinking. I thought it had nice feathering already. I wish it had a bigger crest but maybe that'll appear later. I may hang onto it and watch it a while if you think its a good quality Wish it was a nice splash though since I have a few white already lol.

Ha, you wanting the splash, me wanting the white. I'll keep hunting the whites. Maybe I'll get one of my own if I can breed some. Lisa would know..If I breed a Paint to a Splash, or Black, I have a change at a white, right? I do still have that white out there, not the best in full muff, but bred to the right full muffed girl, I could get a nice white.

You guys think it could be an EE too, but its not bearded, no puffy cheeks, and yellow legs.

Not all EE's or OE's have puffy cheeks. I had an OE that laid the most beautiful Olive egg a couple of years back, and, I had an EE that laid a pretty blue/mint green egg about 2 yrs. ago now, neither had puffy cheeks.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. I think im going to have a beautiful white girl out there. She's already looking like she's getting a nice full round crest and she still has those fuzzy cheeks and thick feathered legs just like this chicks pic I posted. Then I have another white im waiting to see if its a boy/girl and then this lil one. And i'd trade two of them for the perfect splash haha. I just love that color and wish I could get ahold of one or two. These new babies I got from you I can tell are going to be gorgeous but im pretty sure one will be blue and the other a light blue or silver, which is totally fine with me! I think they are going to be very nice looking! But im still on the hunt for a nice splash

There is always a hatch a long going on. Go up to the top and type in the search bar..May hatch a long. Or, are you talking about just one for here? That would be fun.

And on that post you guys are reading..that's Sally Sunshine for you. She studies it all. There are things that she has on there that I just don't do..won't go through them all, but weighing my eggs during incubation is one of them, and, I don't mark my eggs as the air sac grows, I only do it at lock down so I can see where it is, and that shows me when they pip how close they are to the air sac. I have hatched so long now, that I can tell if the air sac is developing too fast, or too slow, and adjust my humidity accordingly..not bragging, I'm sure many on here do the same. Eyeball it!

A splash, like this? Me too! I think I have a couple of splash in there. Remember the smokey one? She is going to be a splash, but a real light one..I want one like I had. A blue with darker blue.


My past two....
